Halloween is big business in Canada with Canadians outpacing their American counterparts in per capita spending on costumes, candy and drinks for adults.
And kids are the ones pushing their parents to spend by raising the stakes on parties and costumes. Why has this cultural shift happened? Are homemade costumes are thing of the past? Does Halloween falling on a Monday affect its popularity?
Meanwhile, Central City Brewing in Surrey has a hit with its pumpkin spiced ale, but the market remains highly seasonal.
Hosts Tyler Orton, going as Cartman from South Park, and Hayley Woodin, costume TBA, scare up the discussion.
